Honor X50 Pro 5G

The Honor X50 Pro 5G has a conventional, non-folding form factor with dimensions of 163.6 × 75.5 × 8 mm and a total volume of 98.8144 cm³. It weighs 192 g and does not feature a rugged build or any form of water resistance, so it offers no rated protection against moisture or dust exposure.

The Honor X50 Pro 5G uses an OLED/AMOLED touchscreen measuring 6.78″ with a resolution of 1220 x 2652 px and a pixel density of 431 ppi, producing a detailed and sharp image across its large panel. The display runs at a 120Hz refresh rate, contributing to smooth on-screen motion. It does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and there is no support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision. An Always-On Display mode is also absent, and the device has no secondary screen.

The Honor X50 Pro 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, a 4 nm chipset with eight threads arranged in a big.LITTLE configuration — one core at 3.2 GHz, three at 2.75 GHz, and four at 2 GHz — with multithreading support and TrustZone security built in. It is paired with 12GB of DDR5 RAM running at 3200 MHz, offering a maximum memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and support for up to 16GB, alongside 256GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 730, which runs at 900 MHz, features 768 shading units and 3 execution units, supports one display, and is compatible with DirectX 12, OpenGL 3.3, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2, and OpenVG 1.2. The SoC also includes integrated LTE, 64-bit support, a 2 MB L2 cache, a 6 MB L3 cache, and posts Geekbench 5 scores of 1320 (single-core) and 4200 (multi-core).

The Honor X50 Pro 5G features a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 108 MP sensor at f/1.8 and a 2 MP sensor at f/2.4, both using a CMOS sensor without back-illumination. The main camera supports 4K video recording at 30 fps, continuous autofocus during video, phase-detection autofocus for stills, touch autofocus, slow-motion recording, timelapse, HDR mode, burst mode, and panorama shooting. Manual controls extend to exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed, laser autofocus, RAW capture, and 360° panorama are not available. A single LED flash is present, with no dual-tone or RGB flash option. On the front, there is a single-lens 8 MP camera at f/2.0, positioned in a standard location rather than under the display, and it has no accompanying flash or additional lens.

The Honor X50 Pro 5G runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. On the customization side, the OS supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes, app offloading, Wi-Fi password sharing, and Quick Start are not available. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, Live Text, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. The system also supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, device tracking, multi-user accounts, a child lock, and a battery health check, but it does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor and cannot be used as a PC.

The Honor X50 Pro 5G houses a 5800 mAh rechargeable battery that is non-removable and does not support wireless charging. It does, however, support 35W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is also present, giving users a straightforward way to monitor remaining charge.

The Honor X50 Pro 5G has a notably limited audio feature set. It lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack and does not include stereo speakers. On the wireless audio side, there is no support for aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC, and the device does not have a built-in radio.

The Honor X50 Pro 5G supports 5G connectivity with a dual-SIM cellular module, download speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s, and upload speeds of up to 3,000 Mbit/s. Wi-Fi coverage spans Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), while Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC round out the wireless options. Wired connectivity is handled via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, and there is no external memory slot, HDMI output, or DLNA certification. For navigation and sensing, the device includes GPS with Galileo support, a compass, gyroscope, and accelerometer, though a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and ANT+ support are all absent. Security is covered by a fingerprint scanner, while 3D facial recognition, an iris scanner, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are not featured.

The Honor X50 Pro 5G features a curved display and includes a video light for use during recording. The screen is not made of sapphire glass, and the device does not have an e-paper display.
